Upgrade to iOS 4.3.3 getting a message "network timed out".

I am running iOS 4.3.1 and trying to upgrade to iOS 4.3.3 and keep getting a message that says "network timed out". I had this same issue with upgrading to 4.3.1 but after disabling Firewall and anti-virsus software and moving to ethernet wired connection (not wireless) it worked. Not so with 4.3.3. I have tried at least 15 times at different times of the day/night. APPLE is there a fix?

Hi there, welcome to the site!
This is usually a cause of a slower internet connection, that is why ethernet probably helped, it is faster than Wi-Fi. I would firstly turn your router off for 5 mins, then back on again, and try initializing the update. If not, maybe try changing the channel the router is broadcasting on. This can usually be done after entering 192.168.0.1 into your browser bar. Refer to your router documentation for more help.
You can try reading through a similar thread which I have linked to below for more help.

Hope this helps,

I get this message "request timed out" everytime i tried to play a video .

I've been having this problem for serval months now and it's annoying at first i used to watch videos and movies normal , but now everytime i try to visit a website to watch a movie when i click play i get this message " request timed out " after two minutes , i have downloaded google chrome , and it worked fine only for serval mins and then when i try to play or watch movies it's still giving the same error , btw i'm connected to internet via my home wifi connection , and yeah i restarted the ipad and switched the router off and on again and nothing changed , what is wrong with my ipad , how could i solve this annoying issue !

I've been having the same issues too, and thought it was just my outdated computer or account?!
Every time I try to purchase a song, "session has timed out" shows up after I click "agree" to the terms!? I seem to be in the exact same scenario as 'SportsBarn' above: Itunes support have replied repeatedly with the same "solutions" but nothing has helped or even been applicable. I have an older laptop, 2005 Powerbook running OS X 10.4 Tiger so it's not compatible with the latest iTunes 10.5.2 which requires minimum OS X 10.5. I've been using the balance already in my iTunes account (from redeemed giftcards over the past few years) with no problem, until recently (my last successful purchase was October 2011). I wonder if it's the older OS or just a redemption glitch even with newer computers?

I am trying to update the iPhone 3GS to IOS5. At download i get an error - network timed out. Repeated tried several times. Is there an issue with the Apple Update Server or too much rush ? How do i update my phone using iTunes?

I am using iPhone 3GS. It is currently updated to IOS4.3. I am trying to update the OS to IOS5 on iTunes. It downloads the software, but it gives an error - network timed out. I have tried this multiple times. But, the end result is same.
Please help & advise as how I can upgrade the iPhone to IOS5.

Temporarily turn off or disable your firewall and anti-virus software and try the download again.

Tried to upgrade to iOS 5 and keep getting error message 1611.

I plug in my iPad and try to upgrade to the new iOS 5 and it restored the iPad and now I'm getting error message 1611 and it won't even let me use my iPad right now, it's stuck at the start screen with the sync cord and iTunes logo... HELP...

I had a similar problem -- but found a simple fixe here.
All I had to do was move my USB cable from a port on the side of my computer monitor to a port on the computer itself.
Easy!
Funny thing is, the original setup worked fine when I upgraded my iPhone 4 earlier in the afternoon, and I've synched my iPad 2 using it hundreds of times. But it wouldn't do the upgrade for the iPad.
Hopefully it will work for you too, and others that may read this thread.

I can download OS5 but unable to install, get message network has timed out.

Try temporarily turning off all your firewall and antivirus software until the download and install has completed.

Keep getting "network timed out" message when trying to download tv shows -

Howdy all!
For two days I've been trying to fix a problem: when I go to the Itunes store and buy tv shows (CSI, Battlestar Gallatica) I can buy them, start the download, but after a minute all of the downloads stall and I get the error message "network timed out" "error 3259"). However, I can download podcasts at lightning speed, and my connection is very high. the error message said there was a problem with the itunes store.
I deleted itunes several times, reinstalled, went through and deleted all the old files, reinstalled, and tried several times. Each time I get the same message
The itunes store says: "Hey, you bought this, but unsuccessfully downloaded it before. want to try again?"
and each time it fails.

I tried to see if the problem was with the itunes store - I bought a song and it downloaded in seconds. I then went to the tv shows section and tried to download a "free" tv show - and got the same message. So in this case, the error only seems to be with downloading tv shows.
I'm at my wit's end - don't know what to do.
